Passionate about sports, he grew up listening to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master’s degree in sports journalism, he never misses a Formula 1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
As Nasser Al-Khelaïfi announced that PSG would likely leave the Parc des Princes, this announcement is causing quite a stir in Paris. David Belliard, Anne Hidalgo’s deputy at the Paris City Hall, is not happy with the president of PSG’s declaration, which he describes as a “media stunt.”
“It’s over now, we want to move from the Parc!” This announcement signed by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has had a shocking effect. And for good reason, the PSG president, in response to Anne Hidalgo’s statement that the Parc des Princes is not for sale, ensures that the capital club will leave its historic stadium. This statement is obviously making waves within the Paris City Council. David Belliard has reacted to this.
“We need to avoid media stunts like this,” he said. “I can understand PSG’s frustration. But we need to avoid media stunts like this. Voting is a democratic act. It reaffirms that Paris does not want to sell the Parc des Princes. And this position is evidently very popular, as we expected opposition from the right, which ultimately abstained. But this vote also opens the door to negotiations with PSG to discuss the conditions of its maintenance,” says Anne Hidalgo’s deputy to Le Parisien.
“The Parc des Princes is identified as the PSG stadium,” he added. Asked about the threats of PSG relocation, David Belliard, who is also an elected EELV member, added: “But where to? The Parc des Princes is identified as the PSG stadium. Everyone wants it to stay there. No one is kicking them out. On the contrary.”
